Chapter 2: In Which Meredith Finds Her Fight
Well, that sure got Grey's attention. Her own eyes snap open at the shocked expression on Addison's face as she brings her left hand up to cover her mouth after the atrocity that is the intern's name was just shouted from it and she uses her right hand to shut off the whirring vibrator and to quickly dismount her legs from her desk table.
She pulls the toy out of herself and proceeds to lay it on a napkin before struggling to find her panties which were earlier flicked across the room and stumbles grabbing her pants with her left hand which she would put on if she could just find her god damned panties in this place.
How her office had become so filled with chaotic clothing she had no idea but it was HER office, not Grey's she reminded herself and for what it was worth, the brunette really should have shut the door behind her ages ago when she first wandered by the hall.
How long had she been lurking their good god Addison flushed to think? She had just had a marathon masturbation session in her workplace with her newly acquired vibrator courtesy of Charlotte King's new sexology practice and she wanted to try it out but it was hell to believe that now her ex-husband's ex-mistress has been lurking and looking at her stark naked from the doorway as she did.
As she did herself, god, she really was the slut that everyone thought she was. And the most terrifying thought among all of it is that part of her isn't so sure she minded.
Maybe she liked that Meredith had been watching and maybe it made her hot and bothered all over again to realize that a cute girl who had obviously blown her ex husband's mind in bed was now staring at her open-mouthed with a look on her face of what - curiosity? Lust? Possibility?
Meredith licked her lips subconsciously when she opened her eyes again and saw Addison staring back, now clothed, with a predatory sort of glare. Like she wanted to rip Meredith's clothes to shreds and she wanted to eat her out on her desktop and make her scream out her name.
And Meredith isn't sure she's at all strong enough to resist this enticing propositioning finger that's motioning her now in a come-hither motion from Addison as she looks up at Meredith's eyes and then raises her eyebrows as she nods towards her desk.
"I think you owe me an explanation, Doctor Grey" she finally speaks as she allows Meredith to sit down on top of her desk now, swirling her legs so they fall off the edge right in front of Addison's face.
"How long have you been standing there outside my office" Addison demands to be answered as she circles Meredith's calf with her right hand.
"W-Well I-" Meredith stutters as she tries to form a coherent sentence and fails miserably.
Addison moves her hand high up by Meredith's thigh now as Meredith starts again to explain to Addison that she was "going to stop by to check on how Callie was doing" to which Addison actually laughs and says "Grey if you wanted to check up on Callie why didn't you go check on Callie.
It's not even meant to be snarky but Meredith bites back her excuses as Addison reaches her hand higher to Meredith's hip now and she starts moving her other hand to the left calf and starts trailing both hands upwards.
"So you come to me for no particular reason to my office where you have never been in your entire life and when you see me with my pants down you just stop and stare? Addison says incredulously as she swirls both of her hands up to Meredith's thighs now and she's certain she's going to combust any minute now once Addison starts moving her hands up to her hips and to her waist.
Meredith can't help but release a pleased hum as Addison warms her sides and she closes her eyes just for a second to enjoy the soft touches she craves, She's missed this- the woman part, the contact, the bittersweet nothings that the redhead keeps muttering into her ear.
"What can I say, Dr. Montgomery?" Meredith sighs. "I wanted to see what Satan would look like when she was moaning out my name" she smirks, getting her game back.
Addison's eyes spark in fury at Meredith's mention of her misguided outcry that was meant to be a cry of rage that just so happened to have -
The.
Most.
Terrible.
Timing.
Ever.
Which she would explain to Meredith right now "That was not for you that was not about you I was simply yelling at you for interrupting me and it just so happened that while I started yelling at you that I reached climax and therefore it came out of my mouth as slightly more of a moan than I would have liked but It was pure coincidence so you don't have to think about putting any more weight on that fact than you already did" she said pointedly as she squeezed her hands gently into Meredith's sides.
"Oh but Doctor Montgomery" Meredith smiles with a smirk.
"I'm thinking about it even more now that you mention it" Meredith teases with an arched eyebrow combined with puppy dog eyes.
The combination is breaking Addison's resolve very quickly as she stares into those pretty eyes and she imagines again the big WHY that she has been wondering for years on end.
The "why on earth would Derek ever leave her to go screw a scrawny dirty blonde haired intern that he met one night at Emerald City Bar during his first ever sleepless night in Seattle?".
She thought she understood before today, several times actually. Such as when the young Intern had her hand on that bomb in the body cavity and she was scared senseless and she couldn't figure out why the hell she cared.
Or when she nearly drowned six feet under in the sound and Addison stared at her frozen lifeless body and shivered at the thought that she might never see that sweet little smile ever again. Or when Meredith summoned her and screeched
"Addison! Doctor Montgomery-Shepherd!", bellowing from her hospital bed and they had the very first real conversation ever. And that's when she admitted she didn't hate Meredith.
That she never did.
And when Meredith asked her why they never talked like this before and she said it was only because Meredith wouldn't remember one word of this when the drugs wore off.
And for some extremely stupid reason, she somehow kept wishing that despite all the morphine and the medecine that Meredith had to this day, in fact remembered and clung to every word they both said.
And as Addison trails her hands upwards to Meredith's waist it isn't lost on the intern to notice the flickers of sadness and soothing compassion and sincerity in the older woman's eyes before she sobered up and wiped them forcefully from her face.
Meredith really was a little tease with those slight curls in her wispy hair and delicate fingers on her tiny ineffectual fists.
She was kidding herself if she wanted to think she's not just a little tempted by the woman who broke up her marriage years ago and who stole HER McDREAMY Might she remind herself.
Oh but who was Addison kidding.
Addison's hands were roaming towards Meredith's breasts now and she paused and opened her eyes and glanced up before moving more.
Sure she wanted to fuck the woman in front of her senseless right now if only to teach her a proper lesson to stop snooping by people's offices at unwanted hours of the day.
But Addison is an adult and she still realizes she's an Attending and Meredith is a Resident and she's less scared of what H.R will think and more afraid that she could become one of those despicable people that takes advantage of her subordinates at work and forces them into situations that are inappropriate and uncomfortable for her own gain.
Addison is a charmer and a looker and she's fierce, yes. But seduction is still about having a damn moral compass and she isn't going to treat Meredith like a trashy "the help" situation and take her by force unless it was at least consensual.
So she paused and stared right into Meredith Grey's eyes with both her eyebrows arched.
"Shall I continue Grey?" she asks in a serious tone.
"I didn't think you were asking," Meredith says a bit dumbly, feeling frustrated that Addison's hands have stopped roaming all over her when she's not sexually satisfied. "
I'm not asking.
I'm propositioning you.
For sex.
With me.
Right here.
Right now.
Doing it on my desk.
In my Office.
The office I still save in Seattle for these trips I take from time to time.
So yes Grey, I'm not asking I'm offering to fuck you because believe me, Alex, Mark and Derek and I may not have worked out for our own reasons but even they all would still say to this day that I am quite the beast in bed and that I can make it worth your while" she says flatly as Meredith simply stares at her dumbly again.
"But you do have to say it.
Because I am still your boss in some sort and position of power and blah blah.
I'm a whore and you're a whore and I'm a slut and you're a slut but simply being an adulterous bitch doesn't mean my morals kick in drawing the line at doing sexual things for my students without having their permission first.
Because even if I do prefer to be called the "Ruler of All that is Evil" and my ex-husband still insists that if there were a land that was called "Passive-Aggressiva" that I would be their queen then I still wouldn't do something so tasteless as to take away something from someone when I didn't have their consent or permission.
So you have to decide Meredith, decide right now if you want what's behind door number one which is you walk away now and never tell anyone what you just saw and or heard no hard feelings between us.
Or behind door number two is me, screwing you senseless and that can stay part of the secrets that are only shared between the two of us until the day we die".
"Decide between door number one and door number two or I walk, Final offer" declares Addison gazing intently at Meredith's expression.
And who was she to know she'd be bested by her own game with Dr. Meredith Grey greeting her offer of doors not traveled to lean into her ear and whisper "Behind door number three, you do me, yes. And I get to have you next" she smirks.
And that's the last thing Addison hears before Meredith bites her earlobe and it's on in open season for the both of them.
